[Spoken Word: Freddie Mercury]
Right, a number we forgot to do in the set
It's called "Seven Seas Of Rhye"

[Verse 1]
Fear me you Lords and Lady preachers
I descend upon your earth from the skies
I command your very souls you unbelievers

[Chorus]
Bring before me what is mine
The seven seas of Rhye

[Verse 2]
Can you hear me you peers and privy counselors?
I stand before you naked to the eyes
I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust

[Chorus]
I swear that you'll be mine
The seven seas of Rhye

[Bridge]
Sister— I live and lie for you
Mister— Do and I'll die
You are mine I possess you
I belong to you forever, ever, ever

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Storm the master-marathon
I’ll fly through
By flash and thunder-fire and I'll survive (I'll survive, I'll survive)
Then I'll defy the laws of nature, come out alive
Then I'll get you
Be gone with you— you shod and, shady senators
Give out the good, leave out the bad evil cries
I challenge the mighty Titan and his troubadours

[Chorus]
And with a smile
I'll take you to the seven seas of Rhye

[Outro]
Oh yeah, come on let me take you
Come on let me take you
Come on let me take you
To the Seven Seas of Rhye

[Spoken Word: Freddie Mercury]
Thank you, thank you very much
We sincerely mean that
Thank you very much for being such a nice audience!

Formed in 1970, Queen was a British rock band whose classic line-up consisted of Freddie Mercury on lead vocals and piano, Brian May on lead guitar, Roger Taylor on drums, and John Deacon on bass. Although Mercury and May wrote the bulk of the band’s material, all four contributed to the songwriting, churning out huge hits. Initially a progressive rock band with strong metal influences, their sound evolved dramatically over time. The band went on to refine, if not define “stadium rock,” as they grew to become one of the most beloved rock bands of all time.

Their early progressive phase spawned epic tracks like “March of the Black Queen” and one international hit “Killer Queen.” But it was their 1975 track “Bohemian Rhapsody” which catapulted the group to super-stardom. The song reigned at #1 on the UK charts for nine weeks and has since been praised as one of the greatest songs of all time

Moving away from their album-orientated sound, the band only grew in popularity with such songs as November 1976’s “Somebody to Love,” October 1977’s “We Are the Champions,” January 1979’s “Don’t Stop Me Now,” June 1980’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” January 1984’s “Radio Ga Ga,” and many more. These songs are so beloved that a musical based on the band’s discography, titled We Will Rock You, became one of West-End’s longest-running shows with a 12-year run through May 2014—and more events being featured internationally, as well.
